That's been a challenge for us over the years.
abide employees operate sake
We operate in many countries, in many jurisdictions in the world. As part of that, for the sake of the employees working in those areas, we have to abide by the laws.
nearly
The Internet is not nearly as fail-safe as the phone system.
people trying stuff
Thousands of people were producing new Web sites every day. We were just trying to take all that stuff and organize it to make it useful.
people marketing add
First of all we had very few users. We might have had a hundred accesses a day. So there was really no demand from the users to add their own links. Things changed over time though as our access rates doubled every month. Through word of mouth on the Net more and more people began using it.
inspirational reliability causes
The Net as a whole is not that reliable, so our blips in service don't cause major problems. However, we are certainly working on improving our own reliability as well as those sites that we depend on.
